On the Road (almost)

Well its getting closer- only four weeks until I leave for New Tribes Missionary Training Center. Tonight was my last Prayer and Praise service at Keystone Community Fellowship, and my last leaders meeting with Thrive (the college group at Keystone I have been super blessed to be a part of the last two years). I half expected to cry tonight (even though I'm not leaving for another month- water works runs strong in our family) but I didn't. I wasn't even sad really-just SO grateful for all the times God has spoken to me in that place, all the things He's taught me, and especially for the friends the wonderful wonderful friends God gave me through that place. But it's time. Time to follow Jesus to the next place we're camping for a while.

I keep thinking of that FFH song "Follow love" the chorus goes something like "Here's goodbye, and here's so long, I must go and follow love. I feel my heart moving on- I must go and follow love. Carry on while I'm gone- this is what I've been dreaming of- I'll miss you so! but I must go- go and follow love" Random sidenote: periodically I am reminded, and astounded that not everybody thinks in lines from songs, books and movies- weirdos.

But anyway- preparations are coming along... still plenty to do. Lots to pack, lots to get rid of, lots of errands to run. Please pray for me to know how to best use the time God's given me.

Pray for rest too- I'm fighting a cold that's sapping energy from my already depleted supply.

Praise God for encouragement along the road- so many people have told me they are praying and two people have already asked how to support me- this is SO encouraging!

well that's all for tonight. More later :)
